Gamers and hobbyists may consider the Trident Z5 Royal Series DDR5 for the best DDR5 memory performance. A luxurious memory package is another option.

High-performance DDR5-8400 CL40:

The technical terms are below. DDR5 (5th generation). This new memory standard is faster and less power-hungry than DDR4.

8400: Megahertz memory.

A 8400 MHz data transfer rate is 8400 million cycles per second.

Data transport speeds rise with MHz.

Column Address Strobe Latency (CAS) is CL40, which monitors RAM retrieval time.

Low CLs suggest faster latency.

CL latency affects RAM performance along with many other parameters.

Faster RAM with somewhat higher CL latency may outperform slower RAM with tighter CL timings.

DDR5-8400 CL40 is high-speed DDR5 with 40 CAS latency. This RAM is great for gamers, overclockers, and creatives who use 3D rendering and video editing tools.

Additional DDR5-8400 CL40 RAM considerations:

Its high-end memory specification and recent availability may make it more expensive and scarce than other DDR5 choices.

The motherboard must support DDR5-8400 memory speeds and AMD EXPO or XMP settings for automated overclocking.

DDR5-8400 CL40 RAM costs more than DDR5.

For optimal DDR5 RAM performance, choose DDR5-8400 CL40. When buying, consider compatibility, price, and availability.

Features of DDR5-8400 CL40 memory:

The memory is DDR5.

Speed: DDR5-8400 This is memory data transmission rate. High speeds improve performance, especially in bandwidth-intensive applications.

CAS Latency:CL40: The number of clock cycles it takes memory to retrieve data after a request. Lower CLs indicate faster memory. Higher-speed DDR5 memory normally has higher CAS latency. Thus, DDR5-8400 CL40 may not be faster than DDR5-6400 CL38. When evaluating DDR5 memory, speed and CAS delay matter.

Depending on the model, DDR5-8400 CL40 memory may have these features:

Capacity: DDR5 modules hold 4GB to 128GB.

ECC memory fixes data transfer errors. ECC memory costs extra, but data-intensive servers and workstations need it.

DDR5 memory modules with RGB LEDs can show numerous colours and lighting effects.

Trident Z5 Royal Release date

The G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal DDR5 memory’s official release date is yet unknown.

What is known as follows:

The first time it was displayed was at Computex 2023, a hardware event. A release in Q4 2023 was rumoured, but it never happened. As of May 2024, G.Skill appears to be finishing the product. Therefore, although a release date has not yet been announced, it may happen shortly. G.Skill’s announcements regarding the formal release can be followed.

The DDR5 9000 48GB Overclocked Memory Kit From G.SKILL

Performance overclock memory and PC components leader G.SKILL International Enterprise has again raised the standard for high-performance memory technology. The company recently overclocked DDR5 9000 CL44-56-56 with a 48GB (24GBx2) kit, a major DDR5 memory feat. This achievement shows G.SKILL’s commitment to memory technology and AMD’s latest platforms’ remarkable overclocking capabilities. The AMD EXPO profiles may deliver exceptional performance, as shown by an ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO motherboard and AMD Ryzen 7 8700G processor.

This article discusses this breakthrough, its technological advancements, and its implications for PC performance, notably for gamers, content makers, and overclockers.

G.SKILL’s Performance and Overclocking Focus

G.SKILL is known for making high-performance RAM for enthusiasts and pros. Overclocking and stability have made their Trident Z series famous. G.SKILL has innovated with DDR5 to increase memory frequencies and performance.

Today’s DDR5 9000 overclock at CL44-56-56 with a 48GB kit capacity is another company milestone. With this performance, strengthens its dominance in overclocked memory kits.

Knowing DDR5-9000 and CL Timings

DDR5 is the next memory technology after DDR4. DDR5’s greater bandwidth boosts data speeds and multitasking. The memory’s transfer rate is 9000 MT/s, hence “DDR5 9000”. This speed is significantly above what most DDR5 kits can get out of the box.

The CL44-56-56 timings quantify RAM latency, which measures response time. CL44 is the CAS latency, or the delay between the processor’s data request and the RAM’s delivery. These values are greater than lower-clocked DDR5 kits, but the faster speed more than offsets the higher latency. This makes the memory efficient for fast data processing operations like gaming, 3D rendering, and video editing.

AMD Expo: Simplifying AMD System Overclocking

G.SKILL’s AMD EXPO (Extended Profiles for Overclocking) implementation is a highlight. AMD’s EXPO overclocking capability is user-friendly, like Intel’s XMP. Pre-configured profiles that customers can use to their BIOS simplify overclocking and boost performance without manually modifying parameters.

The AMD EXPO overclock profile on G.SKILL’s DDR5 9000 memory kit makes it easier to use at high speeds. This helps folks who are new to manual overclocking but desire faster memory performance.

ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E HERO with AMD Ryzen 7 8700G: Perfect Match

The flagship AMD-compatible ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO motherboard overclocked DDR5 9000. For enthusiasts who want to push their gear, the CROSSHAIR X870E HERO is appropriate because to its high build quality, power delivery, and overclocking options. Even with extreme overclocking, the motherboard‘s power architecture and cooling keep the system stable.

The motherboard was paired with AMD’s Zen 4-based Ryzen 7 8700G processor. High clock speeds, sophisticated multi-core performance, and DDR5 memory make this CPU ideal for performance fanatics. THE Ryzen 7 8700G’s processing power and the CROSSHAIR X870E HERO’s overclocking made G.SKILL’s DDR5 9000 memory kit ideal for testing.

Modern Computing’s Need for Fast Memory

DDR5 9000 speeds with 48GB storage are a technical milestone with real-world ramifications for computer activities. For memory-intensive tasks like gaming, multimedia creation, and scientific computing, high-speed memory improves system performance.

In memory-intensive games, faster memory can improve frame rates and latency, making gameplay smoother and more responsive. Content makers who edit 4K or 8K video, render 3D models, and simulate complicated simulations need fast memory. Quickly loading and processing big volumes of data reduces rendering times and boosts workflow.

G.SKILL’s DDR5 kit’s 48GB capacity gives customers adequate memory to multitask. Multitaskers and resource-intensive users like virtual machines, big datasets, and machine learning algorithms benefit from this.

G.SKILL Heat Dissipation Technology

Heat dissipation is difficult at high overclock speeds. Heat from overclocking, especially at such high levels, can cause system instability and damage if not managed appropriately. G.SKILL fixed this by adding sophisticated cooling to its DDR5 memory kits.

A sleek metal heat spreader dissipates heat under high-performance workloads in the DDR5 9000 kit. Even during extended overclocking, their heat spreaders keep the memory within acceptable temperatures.

Conclusion

The world’s top performance overclock memory and PC component brand, G.SKILL International Enterprise is excited to present an extraordinarily fast overclock of G.SKILL DDR5 memory at DDR5-9000 CL44-56-56 with 48GB (24GBx2) kit capacity, featuring AMD EXPO overclock profile and showcasing the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G processor and ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO motherboard’s memory overclocking capabilities.

A Whole New 24GBx2 High-Speed Frontier

G.SKILL presents an incredible DDR5-9000 CL44-56-56 with two 24GB capacity modules, continuing to investigate the DDR5 memory speed overclock limits in conjunction with the new ASUS NitroPath DRAM technology that offers increased DDR5 memory overclock performance.

【自作PC】 ROGマザボでRTXマシンを組む 前編：パーツ集め

どうも、零魔です。

一発目の記事として、ちょうどPCを組み直したので、ちょっとした記録としてパーツ選びや組み立てなどについて記事にしてみようと思います。 おそらく1記事にまとめるには少し長いので前後編に分け、うち今回前編は集めたパーツの紹介、後編で組み立ての記録としたいと思います。

今は「パソコンを買うならBTOの方がコスパはいい」 と言われますが、自作勢の端くれとして、PC自作の魅力が少しでも伝わったり、参考になったりしたら嬉しいです。

筆者と自作PC

筆者は父親の友達がPC自作勢だった影響で、ガキの頃からデスクトップPCの自作をちょくちょくやってきました。おぼろげですが、小学校のころスピーチ大会みたいなのでPC自作について延々と語った記憶があるくらいには、自他共に認める自作厨でした。

そんな私ですが、ここ数年は小型ゲーミングPCにハマっている状態です。というのも、

こちらが今まで使用してきたPCなのですが、2年ほど前に某PCショップでこのケース（Jonsbo T8）に一目惚れし組んで以降、身体がMini-ITXを求めるようになってしまいました。 ちなみに同機のスペックは以下の通りです。

CPU: Intel Core i5 11400

マザボ: MSI H510I Pro WiFi

RAM: GSkill DDR4 3200MHz 16GB

グラボ: Palit StormX GeForce GTX 1660

CPUクーラー：Thermalight AXP-90 X47（空冷）

ストレージ: Western Digital M.2SSD 500GB

電源: Cooler Master V650 SFX Gold (650W/80Plus Gold認証)

マイニングバブルであるにも関わらず無理してパーツを揃えたので、この構成で12万くらいかかりました（グラボ以外全て新品）。中古1660が3万とかおかしいやろ... 今まではこの環境でも問題なかったのですが、SteamウィンターセールでBF2042を購入し、流石にPCのアップグレードが必要かと思っていた矢先、通販サイトでとあるパーツを見つけ、思い切って組み直すことにしてみました。詳細は後述します。

コンセプト

PC自作は基本的に目的から逆算した方がいいとよく言われます。 今回のビルドコンセプトは以下3つです。

① Mini-ITXを使用した「おかもち型」ビルド Mini-ITXをベースに、以前のPCのようにハンドルを使って、ある程度家の中では持ち運びできるような

② 生成AIを自炊できるスペック 筆者は大学院生なのですが、最近は既存の奨学金制度の中にAI研究専門の区分が設けられるなど、とにかくAIの活用やAI研究が前面に押し出されています。そこでいつ生成AI関連の環境が必要になるかわからないため、新構成は生成AIを自炊できるスペックで考えていくことにしました。

③ 「ゲーミング感」を出す 生成AI特化のスペックとはいえ、あくまでもゲーミングPC。RGBライティングによりある程度 「ゲーミング感」 のある見た目を目指しました。

パーツ一覧

以上のコンセプトから、パーツは以下のように選びました。

マザーボード: ASUS ROG Strix B550-I Gaming 中古: ¥23,980

全ての元凶。 筆者は元からASUS製品が好きで（以前はTransformerやZenfoneを溺愛していた）、ROGシリーズにはかなり強い憧れを持っていたのですが、それのMini-ITXバージョンが中古とはいえ、2万円台で売られていたので即買いしました。このマザボがきっかけで今回も小型ビルドにしよう、となりました。 人生初の 「光るマザボ」 です。

なお、今回は動作確認済品・中古保証つきですが、一般的に中古マザボは買わない方がよいとされています。良い子はマネしないでね

CPU: AMD Ryzen7 5700X 新品: ¥25,200

私は基本グラボを大幅にボトルネックしなければなんでもいいの精神なので、元々Ryzen5 5600X（約2万円）を買う予定だったのですが、PCショップの店員さんに相談したところ 「現状ほぼ価格差なく5700Xにできるしせっかくなら背伸びしてみてもいいんじゃないか」という旨のことを言われ、「それも一理あるな」と思い選択。Minecraft鯖の公開や配信をする際はコア数が多いに越したことはありません。 なぜか新品の方が安かったので新品を購入。

RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3600MHz 32GB (16GBx2) 新品: ¥12,964

ゲーミングRGB担当。 普通にゲームを遊ぶぶんには16GBで十分なのですが、生成AIでLoRA学習をかじってみたいというのと、RAMの消費量が多いMinecraftのMODサーバーの公開を行う可能性があるため32GBにしてみました。またCPUと同様、「ほぼ価格差なくオーバークロックメモリにできるなら背伸びしてみよう」 の精神で3600MHzのオーバークロックモデルをチョイス。ちなみにコルセアも筆者のお気に入りブランドです（K63キーボードを愛用）。

グラフィックボード: ASUS Phoenix RTX3060 V2 12GB 中古:　¥35,980

生成AI環境の構築ということで、グラボはRTX3060のVRAM12GBモデルを選択。後述するのですが、もともと小型ケースでの構成を検討していたため、ASUSのシ���グルファンブランドであるPhoenixシリーズのものを採用。結局グラボもASUSになってしまいました。 良い子のみんなは中古グラボもやめようね なお、このグラボのチョイスには大きな誤算が。ケースの項目でまとめて説明します。

CPUクーラー: Noctua NH-L9a AM4 クロマックスブラックモデル（空冷） 新品: ¥8,380

同じくもともとのプランであった小型ケースを想定し、Noctuaのロープロファイルクーラーを選択。後で振り返るともう少しデカいのでもよかった

ストレージ（SSD）： Solidigm P41 Plus 2TB 新品: ¥15,980

容量をどのゲームにどれだけ割くかは全く考えていませんが、少なくとも前回の500GBは一瞬で一杯になったので2TBのSSDを探しました。価格的には最安値帯のものですが、Intelののれん分けであるソリダイムなら問題ないかなと思いチョイス。

電源: Cooler Master V650 SFX Gold 旧マシンより流用: ¥16,061 (流用のため現Amazon参考価格)

電源は寿命を5年と見積もってもまだ2年しか使っていないため、そのまま流用しました。2年使ってみても、SFX電源にしてはかなり消音性能に優れているモデルだと思います。

ケース: Lian Li TU150 新品: ￥14,480

さて、今回のPCケース問題についてお話しましょう。

もともとは 「おかもち型」ケース としてはおそらく現状最小クラスの「SGPC K39」というケースをメルカリで手に入れ、こちらを使う予定でした。そしてこのケースの表記に従い、「長さ185mm以下のグラボ」 と 「高さ55mm以下のCPUクーラー」 を購入しました。

しかし、いざグラボをケースに合わせてみるとグラボ側が分厚すぎてケースに収まらない、という現象に遭遇。さらに旧PCのケースであるT8にも入らないという始末。 幸い、ITX対応おかもち型ケースの中にはある程度大型のパーツを受け付けてくれるTU150があり、地元のパーツショップに在庫が残っていたため、迷わず購入。

結局グラボ購入の際に厚さの項目に目が行っていなかったがゆえに、ケースの寸法と厚さを照らし合わせて確認しなかったことが原因で起こったミスでした。 皆さんも特に小型ケースでPCを組む際、幅だけではなく縦寸法や厚さにも気を付けてグラボを選びましょう。

なお、SGPCのケースを使った小型ビルドはいずれ再挑戦したいと思っています。

ケースファン: サイズ Kaze Flex 2 120 ハイスピードx2 新品: ¥1,080 x2 = ¥2,160

TU150にはケースファンが付属していなかったため、120mmファンを2台（フロント・リア）購入。

最終的なコストおよび同価格帯BTOとの比較

計: ¥155,205

予算とか考えずに構成を考えましたが、それでも15万円代に収めることができました。これを同価格帯のBTO構成と比較してみます。 ほぼ同額の製品として、某大手BTO店の￥154,980の構成をみると、

・CPU：Ryzen7 5700X ・マザボ：ASUS Primeシリーズ（? 他モデルからの推測） ・RAM：DDR4 3200MHz 16GB ・グラボ：RTX4060（Palit社製? 他モデルからの推測） ・CPUクーラー：空冷（詳細不明） ・ストレージ：M.2 SSD 1TB ・電源：650W (80Plus Bronze認証)

だそうです。 VRAM容量の関係でRTX3060を選んだ影響で、BTOの方がグラボの性能が1.2倍（TimeSpyスコア）となっていますが、「メモリ・SSD容量が倍+メモリはオーバークロック+（恐らく）マザボがBTOよりハイエンドの構成」 と考えるとトントンくらいじゃないでしょうか。 私が最初に一番危惧した「ITXこだわったが故にとんでもなくコスパが悪くなった」 というわけではなさそうです。よかった。

次回予告

というわけで、次回は組み立て編として、筆者が久々の自作に悪戦苦闘している様子をお送りいたします。もしよければご覧ください。

ではまた。
